PREFACE TO THE EDITION OF 1845.
Thomas Olcott, whose descendants in the male line, to and in-
cluding the seventh generation — in the female line, to and including
the third generation ; and in the lines of the female branches from
the male lines, to and including the children of each of the first of
said branches — are traced in the following pages, was among the first
settlers of the town of Hartford, and one of the founders of the trade
and commerce of the Colony of Connecticut. From what part of
England he emigrated, or what year he arrived in this country, is
not ascertained. There is reason to believe he was one of the
" goodly company" of men, women and children, who, in June, 1635,
left Newtown (now Cambridge), and other settlements on the sea
board of Massachusetts, to plant a new colony on " the delightful
banks" of the Connecticut. Their route lay through the wilderness,
in nearly the present direction of the Western Railroad, 'till they
reached the mouth of Chicopee river, and hence down the banks of
the Connecticut, to the spot where in the autumn before, the settle-
ment of what is now Hartford, but then called Suckiauge, was com-
menced. Through the agencies which that company, and others
similarly constituted, embraced — from the seed, peculiar and pre-
cious, which they scattered over the bosom of the wilderness —
what a change has been wrought in the country which they traversed
and in the spot where they rested from their pilgrimage, only to
enter upon the severer, ever recurring toils and trials of a pioneer
life ! The forests whose tangled depths they penetrated by day with
slow and toilsome progress, and in whose shadow they rested by
night, with savage beasts and more savage men, have given place to
the cultivated fields, orchards, homesteads and prosperous villages
of civilized man. The streams which they forded, and the swamps
which they crossed with so much risk and difficulty, are now spanned
by arches of stone or bridges of iron. Avenues of communication
now stretch across hills and valleys, which they passed with weary
71 Descendants of Thomas Olcott.
footsteps, so that the traveller between the extremes of their journey
can now glide as on the wings of the wind, without fatigue, in less
than one-third the number of hours, that it took them days and
nights to accomplish. And over the meadows and uplands, the
waters and forests of their early settlement, a change no less won-
derful and beneficent has passed. The rude tillage and rude wig-
wam, the simple canoe and wandering habits of the savage, have
given place to the triumphs of agriculture, commerce, and the arts ;
to free institutions of government — to the blessings of religion,
education and Christian charity — to all the fruits of an advanced and
advancing civilization. Principles and institutions for which the best
blood of Europe has been shed, and shed in vain, were acknowledged
here in the outset of our history, and sprang up from seed sown by
our fathers. We may well be proud of such an ancestry. These
rich blessings, individual, social and civil, which we are now enjoy-
ing, are not the results of happy accident — they are the legitimate
fruits of the character, the lives, and the teachings of the first set-
tlers of our state. These settlers came here under the guidance of
men of pure and fervent piety ; of elevated social position and learn-
ing in their own country ; of large estates, and larger hearts. They
came here already gathered into families, with all the pledges and
ties which that relation alone can give and inspire. They were all
men of religious principles, at a period when to hold fast to religious
opinions cost something — even banishment from home, and the
trials of life on the ocean and in the wilderness. They were men of
varied capacities of usefulness. There were divines, the seal of
whose ministry was on the souls they had saved. There were ma-
gistrates trained to varied offices of state, and ripe for the highest
official trusts at home, if they had chosen to remain there. There
were men skilled in the practical pursuits of agriculture, commerce
and mechanic arts. Once here, each seemed to find his appropriate
sphere of useful labor, and all conspired together with one mind
and one heart, to convert the wilderness into the happy homes of
civilized man; and as the crowning glory of such homes, there were
among them women of education, prudence, and piety, fit to be the
wives of such men, and the mothers of a noble race.
Mr. Olcott had been educated in Europe a merchant, and brought
with him the experience and fruits of successful enterprise. In
Pkeface, vii
common with Edward Hopkins, Richard Lord, William Whiting and
others, he engaged in trade, for which the Connecticut was supposed
to afford great facilities, especially in the traffic in furs. The following
contract of Mr. Olcott, is taken from the early records of the Colony,
on which, by early laws, such agreements were ordered to be recorded :
This Bill Byndeth me Thomas Olcott, of Hartford, in New England,
to pay or cause to be paid unto Mr. Jacob Hayes, of Manators, the sum
of six thousand eight hundred and sixty pounds of good Virginiah Tobaccko,
such as Dutchmen do take, sometime in December next, in some con-
venient places either at Nansemond or Newberts Newes, and in witness
whereof I have set my hand, (the said Thomas Olcott is to allowe halfe
the casck, and said Jacob Hayes is to pay for the other half,) this 19th
of July, 1650.
Witness. THOMAS OLCOTT.
Richard Lord.

The following document, found also on the Colony Records, is
copied in this connection, mainly because, being signed by Mr.
Olcott, it enables us to give his autograph, and settle the orthography
of his name, which is sometimes wrongly spelt with an A instead
of an 0 :
April 22th, 1650.
Whereas Mr. Thomas Olcott of Hartford, doth attache pt. of the
Estate of William Cross, of Fairfield, to the value of 60 pounds sterling,
the said Mr. Olcott doth acknowledge himself bound to this Common-
wealth in a recognizance of one hundred pounds sterling that he will
prosecute the action agt. the said Cross at the next particular Court to
be held in Hartford which will be upon the 15th day of the next month,
and satisfie all damage in case he makes not his plea good.

Mr. Olcott first located himself on a lot on the east side of the
Public (now State House) Square, on which the American Hotel
now stands. He subsequently became the purchaser of one of the
lots assigned to Edward Hopkins in the original distribution of the
town among the first settlers. This lot comprised the whole square
fronting on Main street, and bounded by Pearl, Trumbull and Asylum
streets. On the southeast corner he erected a dwelliner for his own

occupation, which continued in the possession of his family for seve-
ral generations. It is known to many now living as the Nevens
House (the wing on the south having been added by Mr. Robert
Nevens), and was demolished in 1824 to make room for the large
block known as Union Hall, This house lot of Mr. Olcott, which
together with his own and another dwelling house that stood thereon,
was appraised at sixty pounds, at the time of his death, is now worth
one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars. It is now covered
by the Phoenix Bank, blocks of stores and other buildings, of an
aggregate value of not less than the value of the land. The old well
in the rear of Union Hall was excavated by Mr, Olcott as an appur-
tenance to his house.
Mr. Olcott died in 1654, aged about forty-five years, leaving a
widow, three sons and two daughters. He disposed of his property
by will, the original of which cannot be found amongst the ancient
papers of the Probate Office, nor is there any copy on record. The
tenor of the will appears from a written agreement, entered into by
and between his widow (who with his son Thomas, was made joint
executor), and the children, respecting a distribution in part of the
estates, which is on record.
The inventory of the estate is a curious document, as throwing
light on the means, and domestic arrangement of one of the princi-
pal families of the town, within twenty years of its first settlement.

In addition to the property above inventoried, there were divers
tracts of land situated in Hartford and Wethersfield, which passed
into the hands of the sons immediately on the decease of Mr. Olcott,
probably by provisions in his will, which cannot now be found.
Mrs. Olcott,' by the death of her husband, was left with the man-
agement of a large estate, and the cares of the family, to which she
seemed fully equal. From the records of the towns of Hartford,
Wethersfield and Windsor, in this colony, and of Springfield in
Massachusetts, she appears to have carried on the business of her
husband like one " to the manner born." She bought, let, and sold
lands, loaned money on mortgage security, made contracts for deliver-
ing goods, and like the virtuous woman described by Solomon, " she
' Note. In the absence of all positive evidence as to the maiden name of
Mrs. Olcott, or the place of her residence in England, it may be safe to con-
jecture that she was a Porter from London, from the following circmnstance.
On the death of Mr. David Porter, of London, who was drowned in the river
while on a visit to his friends in the colony, administration was granted to
Mrs. Olcott, as appears from the following entry on the records of the county
court.
At a County Court, December 5, 1 678, held at Hartford.
An Inventory of the Estate of David Porter, of London, was exhibited in Court,
and oath made by Mr. Thomas Olcott that there was a true presentment of the estate
of the deceased to the appraisers 5 and if more come to hand, he will cause it to be
added to the Inventory ; and the Court granted administration on the Estate to Mrs.
Abigail Olcott to pay the just debts, and to reserve the remainder of the estate in her
hands till his mother or brother shall order the dispose of it, or send for it ; — it being
granted to them by the Court, they being next of kin to the deceased.
The following quaint exhibit of expenses attending the funeral of Mr. Porter, shows
that a custom more honored in the breach than in the observance, then prevailed in
the colony.

perceiveth that her merchandise was good "; " she layeth her hands
to the spindle^ and her hands hold the distaff^' ; " sJie looketh well to
the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness ; HER
OWN WORKS PRAISETH HER IN THE QATiiS." She died May 26,
1693, aged 78 years,leaviag a will of which the following is a copy :
I, Abigail Olcott, of Hartford, being at present of good understanding
and memory, blessed be God, do consider that I am aged, and the shad-
ows of the evening are come upon me, and therefore, the counsel of the
Prophet, — " Set thy house in order" is very seasonable for me. In
obedience thereto, first, I do commit my soul to God in Jesus Christ,
trusting through his mercy, my sins are washed away in his blood, and
that through his righteousness, I shall be accepted of the Father, and ob-
tain a glorious resurrection ; — and my body I commit to the earth, to
be buried in a comely decent manner, in the common burying place.
And for that estate the Lord hath blessed me with, after my just debts
and funeral charges are contented and paid, I do give and bequeath the
same as foUoweth. I have formerly given my son Thomas, a piece of
gold, I give my son John, a ten shilling piece of gold, and to my son Samuel
and daughter Elizabeth Hyde, I give my biggest piece of gold, to be di-
vided between them. I also, give ,to my daughter Hyde, my two black
gowns, my mohair petticoat, my silk cloak, my wearing linen, a dozen
diaper napkins and a dozen of holland napkins ; and to my daughter-in-
law, Sarah, I give my cloth gown, cloth petticoat and serge cloak. It
is my will that the fifty pounds I gave to Thomas and Mary, my grand-
children, by a former writing, shall be paid out of such debts as are due
to me. And the rest of my estate, both real and personal, I give and
bequeath the same, to my sons, Thomas, Samuel and John, and my
daughter, Elizabeth Hyde, to be divided equally to them, except my son
John, who is to have a double share, the rest of my children having
formerly received from me considerable. And what I give to my child-
ren, I give it to them and the heirs of their bodies now living, — save
only that which I give to my son John by this will, is to him and his
heirs forever. Finally, I do, in the fear of God, command my child-
ren to know, fear and serve the God of their father, that so the blessing
of the covenant may be their portion when I shall be gathered to my
fathers ; and desire, that they may five in love and peace one with ano-
ther, that the God of love and peace may bless them.
I do hereby renounce and make null all former wills by me made, by
word or writing, and declare this to be my last will and testament, and
do constitute and appoint my beloved sons Thomas and John Olcott to
be Executors thereof. And if any difference should arise about the dis-
tribution of my Estate, amongst my children, I wholly refer the determina-

tion thereof to my loving friends Col. John Allyn and Doctor Thomas
Hooker, to whom I refer my children for to take advice and counsel in
any thing that shall arise of difficulty in their affairs. And for the con-
firmation hereof, I hereunto set my hand and affix my seal, this 1 2th day
of January, 1692.

The following article is likewise found on the Colony Records, and
is copied as showing Mrs. Olcott's method of doing business. By
this writing, it would appear that Mrs. Olcott had made a loan to
" Mr. Roger Nuton " (Rev. Roger Newton, 1 first minister of Farming-
ton) ; and that when payment was oifered, the evidence of the debt
could not be found, but that she received the money, and gave this
writing as a testimony that the debt had been paid :

risdiction of Connecticut, doe acknowledge myself to be fully satisfyed

and his place was filled at Farmington, by Mr. Samuel Hooker, son of Rev.
Thomas Hooker, first minister of Hartford. The following transcript from
the account book of William Pynchon, one of the first settlers of Springfield,
(Mass.) and the first signer of the Plantation Covenant of that town, shows
the liberal contributions which individuals were willing to make for the
support of the gospel ministry, even in towns distant from their own resi-
dence. The entry is in the hand writing of John Pynchon, the son, and
the original document in the possession of the Hon. Oliver B. Morris, of
Springfield.

The sons of Mr. Olcott continued to reside in Hartford, as farmers,
and were all gentlemen of consideration in the colony. On the 20th
of May, 1658, Thomas Olcott, and on the 12th of the same month,
1664, Samuel Olcott, took the oath of allegiance to the colony, on
being admitted as freemen, as prescribed by the General Court April
6, 1640. In this oath there is not the slightest recognition of the
authority of Parliament, nor indeed is there any thing in the laws
of the colony, which would imply that Connecticut was any thing
less than a " free, sovereign and independent state."
I, A. B., being by the Providence of God an inhabitant within the
jurisdiction of Connecticut, do acknowledge myself to be subject to the
government thereof, and do swear by the great and fearful name of the
everlasting God, to be true and faithful unto the same, and do submit both
my person and estate thereunto, according to all the wholesome laws and
orders that there are or hereafter shall be there made and established by
lawful authority, and that I will neither plot nor practice any evil against
the same nor consent to any that shall so do, but will timely discover the
same to lawful authority there established j and that I will, as I am in
duty bound, maintain the honor of the same and of the lawful magistrates
thereof, promoting the public good thereof whilst I shall continue an in-
habitant there ; and whenever I shall give my vote or suffrage touching
any matter which concerns this Commonwealth, being called thereunto,
will give it as in my conscience I shall judge may conduce to the best
good of the same, without respect of persons, or favor of any man. So
help me God in the Lord Jesus Christ.

is in Manchester), was buried in the public burying-ground in the

Hop Brook, then known as the " Hartford five miles," and now within the
limits of Manchester, as appears from the following memorandum found in
the account book of the son, and which is still in the possession of Mr.
Sidney Olcott, now dwelling on the original plantation.

rear of the Centre Congregational Churcli, where repose together
most of the first settlers of Hartford, and their immediate descend-
ants. There, in the heart of the city — in the midst of the fruits
and the monuineats of their wise, patriotic and pious labors — of
comfortable dwellings, busy work-shops, thronged channels of com-
merce, halls of education and science, asylums, retreats and temples
of religion and Christian charity —
" There rest the great and good — there they repose
After their generous toil. A sacred baud.
They take their sleep together.

With which their children tread the hallowed ground
That holds their venerated bones, the peace
That smiles on all they toiled for, and the wealth
That clothes the city where the forest waved,
Are monuments more lasting than the fanes
Reared to the kings and demi-gods of old."
Within a few years past, additional security and attraction hag
been thrown around this consecrated spot by James B. Hosmer,
Richard Bigelow and others, under the name of the Hartford An-
cient Burying Ground Association. Principally under the judi-
cious direction and oversight of Mr. Hosmer, broken grave-stones
and slabs have been repaired, and the fallen restored ; inscriptions
which time was slowly obliterating, have been chiseled deeper ;
graveled walks have been laid out with great taste through the
grounds, and appropriate trees and shrubbery have been planted,
and now throw their protecting shadows and beauty over the graves
of the dead. In the centre of the lot, a simple but massive shaft of
stone has been erected, and on it are inscribed the names of Haynes,
Hooker, Hopkins, Olcott,' Stone, Webster, Welles, and others of
the first settlers of Hartford ; while from all around a voice seems
to speak to every heart, quickened by the remembrance of their
sacrifices, their public spirit and their piety : —
" Our God is thy God — what He
Willeth, is best.
Trust him as we trusted.
Then rest as we rest "

PREFACE TO THE REVISED EDITION.
The descendants of Thomas Olcott are indebted to the liberality
of Thomas W. Olcott, an eminent banker of Albany, N. Y., for the
present edition of the pamphlet which Mr. Nathaniel Goodwin pub-
lished at Hartford in 1845 ; and, as one of his beneficiaries, the writer
feels satisfaction in the thought that this good man and upright
financier, in doing this kindness to his kinsmen, has erected to his
own memory a monument more enduring than any that may here-
after be reared over his dust by the hands of affection.
Since the appearance of the first edition of this work, numerous
facts of interest concerning the Settler Thomas Olcott have become
attainable, and it was important that they should be collated, and
placed beside those which the industry of the late Mr. G-oodwin had
gathered together in its pages.
Mr. Goodwin died May 29th, 1855, at the ripe age of 74 years,
having, dui'ing the course of a blameless life, filled many public offi-
ces in his native city of Hartford, with honor and general accept-
ance. At various periods he was Treasurer of the City and County,
Clerk of the Probate Court, Judge of Probate for the District of
Hartford, and an officer in various learned societies. This record of
the descendants of Thomas Olcott was his first genealogical work, ' but
several others of a kindred character were published by him sub-
sequently. When it was determined to bring out the present edi-
tion of this pamphlet the responsible task of writing the preface was
assigned to me, through the indulgence of Mr. Thomas W. Olcott,
and the publisher Mr. Munsell ; and, while distrusting my ability to
do justice to so unfamiliar a labor, I will at least try to lay before
'The Rev. Henry Olcott Sheldon, of Oberlin, O., informs me that he was
the first to collect notes of the Olcott genealogy, and that, showing these to
Mr. Goodwin in 1840, the latter gentleman was led to prepare the pamphlet
which was published in 1845.

my family the facts that lie scattered through many volumes in seve-
ral libraries, in such an intelligible form as to aid future investigators.
If a somewhat extended examination of documentary authorities
has led me to adopt opinions concerning the surname of the Settler
at variance with those entertained by Mr. Goodwin, I can only say
that my sole aim has been to discover the truth, without bias or
partiality, and I submit the evidence to those who come after me,
for them to form their own conclusions, Mr. Goodwin, in his pre-
face, alluding to the diverse spellings of the family name, assumes
to settle the matter beyond controversy by giving us a fac-simile of
Thomas Olcott's signature, in which the letter 0 is the initial. Mr.
Charles J. Hoadly, State Librarian of Connecticut, who, in 1861,
discovered the second volume of the Probate Records of the Colony
of Connecticut, long supposed to be irrecoverably lost, and which vo-
lume contained the record of Thomas Olcott's will, also inclines to
the same opinion. But, with due respect to both gentlemen, I can-
not admit that the question is any nearer settlement than ever
before ; for the public records of not only Massachusetts and all the
other colonies but the mother country as well, show that persons
even of high rank paid no regard whatever to orthography when
writing their own names. In this country even so eminent a man as
Governor Endicott spelt his in three different ways, an example that
is followed by the Putnams, and others best known of the immigrants.
As to the misspelling perpetrated by clerks of records, magistrates,
ministers and others having occasion to write the surnames of their
fellow citizens, the confusion is most amusing ; every man seeming
to be a law unto himself in this respect.' In various connections
our own family name is found spelt Alcock,- Alcocks, Alcocke,
Allcocks, Allcox, Alcox, Alcot, Alcott, Ollcott, Olcot, and Olcott,
Now let my kinsmen choose from this abundant variety, each for
himself. In the original plat of the city of Hartford are shown the
' Sir Walter Ralegh sometimes wrote liia name Raleigh, and this method
has since prevailed. In 1647 Governor Winthrop spelled his Winthop.
My' very highly esteemed friend, Hon. Clias. W. Upham, alludes to this
confusion in tlie orthography of proper names in his History of Salem
Village and Salem Witchcraft, at vol. i, p. 315, and vol. ii, p. 233, note.
* Tlie name Alcock is of Saxon origin, being derived from the two words
Eald (German aid, alt), meaning old, and coc, a male bird. The English
Al, which is simply a corruption, is commonly used as a prefix to names, as
Alburg, Alberry, etc.

lots, three in aumber, owned by our ancestor, on two of which his
name appears as " Th. " and " T. Alcock," and on the third is the
inscription " Edw. Hopkins sold to Thorn. Alcock (Alcott Olcott)."
Again, on the shaft of the monument erected to the First Settlers,
in the ancient burying ground in Hartford, the name is spelt Al-
cott, and yet Mr. Goodwin, while himself stating this fact, arbitra-
rily spells it with an 0, and places it immediately before Olmsted
in the list !
Now it may appear of small importance to some whether the first
of the family in this country was in fact an Olcott or something else,
since a usage established by nine successive generations has fixed
the matter so far as America is concerned. But if this genealogy
is worth anything at all, it is worth while to have it correct ; for
our line did not begin with the sturdy Puritan of 1630, and if we
would know whence we sprung we must " try back" among his
progenitors on the other side of the ocean. While last in Lon-
don, I made it my business to search for traces of the family,
and had the help of J. R. Planche, the " Somerset Herald," himself,
and his assistant Mr. Say. 1 found no record whatever of any 'per-
son hy the name of Olcott^ but I did find several families of Alcocks
and, if my memory serves me, some Alcotts also. Does not this fact
warrant the suspicion that Mr. Groodwin was not right in assuming
the question settled ? It is our present misfortune that we have no
record of the ship in which Thomas Olcott came here, the port from
which she sailed, or even the year of his arrival. With these in our
possession, we might trace back our ancestral line without great
trouble. I was in hopes that Mr. Hotten's forthcoming work on the
emigrants from Grreat Britain to America' might furnish the missing

clue, but a very careful inspection of the thousands of names he has
had copied from the records of the State Paper Office, results in com-
plete disappointment. Thomas Olcott's name does not appear. At
page 110, however, occurs the register of a vessel in which one
Elizabeth Allcott was passenger, under the following preamble :
1635, 24 July. " Theis vnder-written names are to be transported
to Virginea imbarqued in the Assura7ice de Lo:' Isaack Bromwell,
and Geo Pewsie M^ examined by the Minister of the Towne of
Gravesend of their conformitie in o*" Religion. The men have taken
the oats of Allegeance and Supremacie." There were one hundred
and eighty-one men, and forty women in the ship's company, and
it is not at all unlikely that " Elizabeth Allcott, age 20 yeeres "
was one of the " maidens pressed '' (kidnapped) alluded to in the
title of the book. It is certain, at any rate, that our ancestor traded
between Hartford and Virginia, that he died there or on the voyage
thence, and that he had a daughter of his own named Elizabeth,
who was born eight years after the arrival of this passenger maiden.
Is it an unwarrantable inference that she and Thomas Olcott were
related, and that he may have been led into the Virginia trade by
the news of her arrival from England ?
Failing, therefore, to trace the Settler across the ocean, we must
look for our clue in the parish registers of England, and in my opinion,
among the family of Alcock. This task is reserved for some future
enquirer, as my own investigations were confined to the College of
Arms in London. Recently, however, 1 have examined Walford's
Counti/ Families (London, 1872), which purports to record every
family in Great Britain of any consideration, and Fairbairn's Family
Crests (London, 1848), and find no mention of either Olcott or
Alcott, but only of Alcock. Of this name, there are six or seven
families, — one in Kent, one at Silvertost, Northamptonshire, one in
Staff"ordshire, one in Yorkshire, one at Wilton Castle, county Wexford,
Ireland, and two more near Cork. The crest of each family is a
cock, in some cases crowing, in others silent, standing on a crown, a
globe, or a simple bar. The family motto is the Latin word
Vigilate (Be watchful). In the reign of Henry VII there lived
a man who shed lustre on not only the family name, but also his
entire country, — one John Alcock. A biographical notice of him ap-

pears in Rose's BiograpMcal Dictionary (London, 1848), p. 251,
from which the following facts are derived :
Dr. John Alcock was born at Beverly, Yorkshire ; completed his
education at Cambridge, and took there the degree of LL.D. In
quick succession he was dean of Westminster, bishop of Rochester,
Worcester, and in 1486 he succeeded Morton in the See of Ely.
His secular advancement was equally rapid ; in 1462 master of the
rolls, in 1470 a privy councillor and ambassador to the court of Cas-
tile, a commissioner to treat with the Scotch commissioners, lord
president of Wales, and in 1472 he was made lord chancellor by
Henry VII. His skill in architecture was so eminent that the king
appointed him comptroller of the royal works and buildings. His
episcopal palaces, especially that of Ely, were improved by his taste.
He founded in 1486 a school at Kingston-upon-Hull. In 1496 he
founded Jesus College at Cambridge, and appropriated to its use a
house formerly occupied as a nunnery (that of St. Rhadegund). He
was as distinguished for his virtues as for his learning and abilities.
He died Oct. 1, 1500, at Wisbeach, and was buried in the beautiful
chapel in Ely Cathedral, built by himself. He wrote various works
in Latin of a religious character, and a little treatise entitled, in
allusion to his own name, Galli Cantus ad Confrates suos (A call of
a cock to his fellows). Prints of the bird decorate the first page.
In 1707 another of the name is mentioned as an eminent scholar.
His name was Nathan Alcock, and he was educated by his brother-
in-law Mr. Cowley, a schoolmaster in Lancashire. He afterwards
studied at Edinburgh ; and at Leyden, under Boerhave, Gaubius,
Albinus, and Gravesand. He took the degree of M.D. in 1737, and
in 1741 he was incorporated M. A. of Jesus College.
In Henry Bronson's History of Waterbicry, published in Water-
bury, Conn., in 1858, the author refers to Bishop Alcock, and arbi-
trarily spells the name Alcott (see p. 459). The correct spelling is
given in Drake's Diet. Am. Biography, in Rose's Biographical
Dictionary, and other authorities.
And now to return to Thomas Olcott, I have to state the remarka-
ble fact which escaped Mr. Goodwin's observation, that there were
two men in our little colony of the same name. Of these, one settled
in Boston and the vicinity, and remained there until his death, while
the other went to Hartford with Hooker and his gallant company of

explorers. The Boston man, according to Savage (see Genealogical
Dict.^ vol. I, p. 22) came over in the fleet with Governor Winthrop,
and Bronsou {Hist. Waterhury, p. 459) who, in apparent ignorance
of the fact that there were two of the same name, calls him " Mr.
Thos. Alcocke, the progenitor of all bearing the name in Connecticut,"
adopts the same view. It seems to me, also, that Mr. Bronson falls into
error in supposing that the Boston-Dedhani-Roxbury Alcock is
the father of the Waterbury family. It being admitted and unques-
tionable that our Thomas Olcott settled at Hartford with Hopkins
and Hooker, the succession is readily traced ; for in 1640 the Hart-
ford people settled Farmington, and in 1674 Waterbury was settled
by the restless people of Farmington. It must be to our ancestor,
therefore, and not his Boston namesake, that Mr. Bronson would
refer. And in this connection, let me suggest it as possible that it
was to avoid the confusion naturally resulting from the existence of
the two men of like Christian and surnames that the Hartford settler
wrote his name Olcott.'
In the covenant of the First Church of Boston, dated at Charles-
town Aug. 27, 1630, the Boston man stands forty-sixth on the list of
1 In the desire to exhaust every available source of information concerning
the family history, I applied to the distinguished philosopher Dr. A. Bron-
son Alcott, of Concord, Mass., and was favored with a letter from which the
following extracts are given :
" Concord, July 21st, 1874.
Dear Sir : I have very little information to give you concerning the
diiference in spelling our names, or the probable relationship between the
Roxbury and Hartford families. My ancestor Phillip Alcock, of New
Haven, appears to have been the son of George Alcock, both coming over
in Wintlirop's company, and settling in Roxbury, Mass. As George married
a sister of Rev. Thomas Hooker, of Hartford, it is not unlikely that he came
from Hooker's neighborhood in England, though I have no certain informa-
tion as to the place of liis nativity.
Very likely Thomas of Hartford, whose name is sometimes spelled
Alcock in the records, was a relative of Thomas and George, of Roxbury.
I did not trace his genealogy beyond Mr. Goodwin's conjectures. Phillip
married a second wife in Wethersfield, and died there in 1715.
*****
" Very truly yours,
A. Bkonson Alcott."
It will be observed that the writer has reached a similar conclusion with
myself as to the probable emigration of Mr. Olcott fi'om Hooker's neighbor-
hood in England. His further hypothesis that the Boston and Hartford
settlers were kinsmen, is not at all unreasonable.
Preface. xxiii
original members, and later on, when lie removed to Dedham, there
occurs the following entry : " Ano 8:7: 1639, our brother Thomas
Alcocke and sister Margery were recommended to Dedham/' My
attention having been drawn to the confusion relative to " Thomas
Allcock," I made, with the valuable help of my friend Mr. Gary
Florio, the musical composer and antiquarian, a thorough search
through the Colonial records and subsequent histories, with the result
that I satisfied myself of the existence of the two men above referred
to. The Boston Alcock (or as it is variously spelt, Olcott, Alcot,
Alcott, Allcox, Alcocks and Alcox) was a farmer and grazier ; the
Hartford man, a wealthy merchant. The former, in 1637 was ap-
portioned "a great lot" at Muddy river. This was at the appor-
tioning of the city of Boston : (see Drake's History of Boston^ p.
233). On April 28th, 1651, he was appointed cow-keeper (p. 327
ibid); April 24th, 1654, the entry says Thomas Olcott shall " kepe
the cows, and to have 2s. a head for every cow that goes upon the
common," etc. (ibid, p. 336) ; March 30th, 1655, he appears again
as cow-keeper, mentioned incidentally in a treasurer's account; in
1651 he is settled in Roxbury, with his brother Gleorge, and has
liberty to " feed (that is pasture) the buriall place, he fencing and
putting a gate and lock and two keys," etc., (see History of Roxbury
Town, by Charles M. Ellis) ; and, at p. 88 of the same work, he is
mentioned as one of the first men of Dedham. This Thomas Alcock
is mentioned in records of 1680, 1637, 1639, 1650, 1651, 1654 and
1657, when he died. The reader will please bear these dates in mind,
for, when we turn to the Hartford records, we find our own ancestor
Thomas Alcock (Alcott, Olcott, Ollcott, Alcot) in 1635, 1639, 1640,
1650 and 1653, figuring as an original proprietor, a landholder and
resideac of that city, a constable, a merchant contracting to pay large
sums, a plaintiff suing in court, a voyager to Virginia, and finally
dying in 1653, four years before his namesake.
Again, the Boston Alcock had a wife named Margery and nine
children : two Marys, two Elizabeths, Sarah, Hannah, Rebekah,
Phillip and John ; the Hartford Settler's wife's name was Abigail,
and they had five children : Thomas, Samuel, Elizabeth, John and
Hannah. It is a coincidence that these two men should have had
three children of the same names. In 1639 one is in Dedham, the
other in Hartford; in 1654 one is living in Boston, the other dead

in Hartford ! In the Catalogue of Names of Early Puritan Settlers
of the Colony of Connecticut, collected by R. R. Hinman, tlie author
(see p. 30, foot-note) says : " It is supposed by some that Thomaa
Alcock,on the Hartford Records plainly and legibly so spelled, should
have been spelt Olcott. Three of the name of Alcock had graduated
at Harvard College before 1674."
To throw still further light upon the question of the existence of
two Alcocks (or Olcotts, as you choose), we find that the settlers of
Hartford came from Newton, where they complained of being too
crowded.' Says Drake (^Hist. Boston, p. 176) : " The project of a
removal to Connecticut of many distinguished settlers in and about
Boston caused great agitation in the town and vicinity. It was a
subject of legislation, and was debated with much earnestness in the
session of September, and also at the adjournment, fourteen days
later." The removal was opposed by those in authority in Boston
because it might expose the colony to invasion by the French, by
sea, or attack by the Indians, by land, if their small community
should be weakened by the proposed emigration. But Mr. Hooker'
as head of the church at Newton, urged their want of land, and the
move was finally agreed to. Hubbard (see Bist. New Eng., p 173),
says that the want of land was probably a mere pretext, the real
reason for the removal being, that " two such eminent stars, such
as were Mr. Cotton and Mr. Hooker, both of the first magnitude,
though of diflPering influence, could not well continue in one and the
same orb." Hooker arrived here Sept. 4, 1683, in the ship Griffin^
300 tons, after a passage of eight weeks from the Downs. She
brought about two hundred passengers. ^ Mr. Hooker and his
friends went to Newton, and from Newton, as already stated, subse-
' Mr. William "Wood, who came to New Eng^land in 1629, and left in 1633,
speaks of Newton in these terms : " The inhabitants most of them are very
rich, and well stored with cattell of all sorts ; having many hundred acres
of ground paled in with one geuerall fence which is about a mile and a
halfe long."
" This eminent divine was born at Markfield, Leicestershire, in 1586.
^ Governor Winthrop records the event in the following terms : " Mr.
Hooker arrived from England, with John Cotton and Mr. Stone, also min-
isters, Sept. 4, 1633, and many other men of good estates. They got out
of England with great difficulty, all places being belaid to have taken Mr.
Cotton and Mr. Hooker who had long been sought for to have been brought
into the high commission. " The ship having to touch at the Isle of Wight,

quently to Hartford. Now is it unreasonable to suppose, seeing
that the Boston Thomas Alcock was already here in 1630, and his
Hartford namesake is not mentioned until 1635 ; since the latter
went with Hooker from Newton to Hartford, and in his last will
speaks of him and his wife in terms of endearment, and leaves each
a legacy, that he is one of the " many other men of good estates,"
whom Drake says (p. 157) came over with Hooker in the Griffin f
At any rate, if I were to pursue this enquiry among the English
records, I should try first to find the names of the persons on board
this vessel. Failing this, I should search in the records of Kent,
which borders on Essex, where in 1626 Hooker began his brilliant
theological career, as lecturer and assistant to a clergyman at Chelms-
ford, officiating, according to the historians, " with great reputation
until silenced by Laud, then bishop of London." Thence he
went to Holland and preached for two or three years, and then, in
1633, with his goodly company of men, women and children emi-
grated to America. I think the present head of the Kentish family
of Alcocks could at least indicate in what quarter the quest should be
begun.
In a collection of articles on the early settlers of Hartford, pub-
lished by SCjIivai in 1853, under the title Hartford in the
Olden Time, we find Thomas Olcott mentioned (see p. 179) as one
of the two constables of Hartford in 1640 ; and, following page 258
is a comical illustration of a skirmish between him, with his posse
comitatus of ten armed men, and the Dutch, who had made en-
croachments upon what the English considered their special territory.
Our valiant progenitor bore himself so well in the fray as to put
the intruders to flight. Grovernor Petrus Stuyvesant, in a report to
his government, entitled " A short Abstract out of the Register^ and
record of Passac/es betwixt the New Netherlands and the English na-
tion" cites the occurrence thus: " 2. That April 25th, 1640, the
Constable of Hartford came upon the Dutch land, with ten armed
men, when the Dutch were plowing, and smote their horses with
" the Pursuivants attended there, and in the mean time, the said ministers
were taken in at the Downs. Mr. Hooker and Mr. Stone went presently to
Newtown, where they were to be entertained, and Mr. Cotton stayed at
Boston. " (Drake's Hist. Boston, p. 157. )

sticks so that the latter were frightened and ' broke their geares in
sunder' and that notwithstanding a formal protest made to Mr.
Hopkins, then Grovernor, the English continued to hinder them in
the possession and cultivation of their land, " yea with blows and
strokes even to the shedding blood, as can be justified." The arms
carried by our ancestor on this occasion were, perhaps, the " gunn
and sword, 23s." included in the inventory of his estate, which
will be found in Mr. Goodwin's preface to the first edition of this
pamphlet.
The next trace of Mr. Olcott that has come to my notice is
afforded in the commercial documents of 1650. which Mr. Goodwin
prints in his preface to the first edition ; and the record of his life
must close with the missing will of 1653, so fortunately recovered
by Mr. Hoadly, and the inventory of the personal effects the Settler
had with him at the time of his decease. When Mr. Hoadly
announced to Mr. Thomas W. Olcott, of Albany, the recovery of the
volume of Probate Records (Sept. 18, 1862), he added : " I have now
recently found some more of our lost ancient records, by one of which
it would seem that Mr. Olcott died in Virginia, while there on
business." Desiring to learn the nature of the documents referred
to, I have addressed an enquiry to the writer, and received the
following reply : Connecticut State Library,

The reader will notice that the usual fatality attends the spelling
of the name, a more liberal allowance of ?'s than necessary being given
by Messrs Addison, Ewen and Wormwood. The inventory exhibits
the effects of a trader in skins, tobacco and provisions, and of a man
accustomed to the decencies of hat-brushes and handkerchiefs, and
frequent changes of linen !
What disposition he made of his estate, a very large one for those
days, will be seen by reference to his
WILL.
In the name of God, amen. I, Thomas Olcott of Hartford, being
weak in body, but through the mercy of God of perfect memory, yet
calling to mind the certainty of death and the uncertainty of the time
thereof, do make and ordaine my last will and testament in manner and
form as following :
First. I commit my soul into the hands of my most merciful Father
and blessed Redeemer and eternal comforter, hoping and being fully
assured that it shall be kept safe in the arms of those everlasting mercies
which have from eternity before time loved it with a infinite and ever-
lasting love, and in time manifested this love unto me in (by a mighty and
unresistible power ) plucking me out of the chains of darkness and the
dungeons of sin and misery, and translating of me into the kingdom of
his dear son.
My body T commit to the earth from whence it come, and out of
which it was formed, knowing and being perfectly persuaded that the
Lord by his almighty power will raise it up at the last day, and then both
' Probably irons for branding casks of tobacco. — H. S. 0.

body and soul shall be reunited, and this frail and mortal body shall be
made like unto the glorious body of the Lord Jesus.
My wife I leave her to the care of the church whereof the Lord hath
made her a member, and to the counsell and advice of them in general
and my overseers, and Mrs. Hooker in particular, and desire their utmost
care and indeavour for her good, and I earnestly desire her to attend their
counsell and advice to the utmost.
The children which the Lord of his mercy hath given me, I firstly
commit them into the arms of that mercy, and beseech the Lord to make
good his everlasting covenant that he hath of his rich mercy made with
them, and to circumcise their hearts that they may love and fear him
forever; and secondly, I leave them to the love, care and faithful endeavor
of the church with whom they live and whereof they are members,
entreating them according to the covenant of the Lord, that they would
be helpful to them and watchful over them, both for their outward and
spiritual good.
And touching the worldly goods which the Lord hath been pleased to
lend me, my will is, that after my debts are paid and discharged, that my
estate shall be disposed of as followeth, viz : Unto my dear and loving
wife I give unto her the sum of twenty-eight pounds per year during her
life, to be made fair unto her out of my estate, partly 6ut of what rents
and yearly annualties are coming to me, and pardy so much of my estate
to be put to it as will procure so much to be assured to her during her
life; the whole remainder of my estate, except twenty pounds, I give and
bequeath unto my children, five or six, more or less, as it pleased the
Lord to leave me, which are surviving, to be divided, if I have six child-
ren, into seven equal parts, or if seven children, into eight equal parts,
and I do give and bequeath unto my eldest son Thomas two equal parts
of the estate so divided, and unto the each of the rest of my said children
one equal part of the estate so divided; my mind and will is, that each of
their parts and portions shall be due unto them and payable unto them
at the age of twenty-one years, or day of their marriage, which shall first
happen; as also, that if any of my said children shall die or depart this
life before that their portion shall become due and payable, that then their
part and portion shall be equally divided unto those that are surviving, I
mean each of them, both eldest and youngest, to have each of them an
equal proportion. Also my desire and will is, that my estate which I
have given to my children may be ordered and improved to the best
advantage of my said children, by my overseers- And my mind is, that
my said overseers may be paid out of my estate for such time and cost
and expenses as they shall be at, in ordering my estate from time to time,
as also that the said overseers would so order of the bringing up of the
children as they conceive may be best for the children's spiritual and

temporal good. And the rest of my estate not given, I give and bequeath
as followeth : Unto my dear and tender mother, Mrs. Margrett Charl-
fount, for her own peculiar use, two pounds ; to my dear and much
respected sister, Mrs. Mary Hardy, five pounds ; to my indeared friend
and faithful counsellor, Mrs. Hooker, fifty shillings; to my revered teacher,
one pound ten shillings ; to my mother, Hoare, twenty shillings ; to my
brother, Will.Wadsworth, one pound; to brother Will. Lewis, senior, one
pound; to my overseers of this my last will, each of them apiece, three
pounds. My desire is, that all my said legacies shall be paid within one
year after my decease.
I do make and ordain my loving wife and my son Thomas, executors,
of this my will; and I do desire my dear brethren and friends, Mr. John
Talcott and Edward Stebbin, to be overseers hereof, and desire their
utmost care and faithfulness herein.
And lastly, I do desire to leave a record of God's faithfulness and
goodness towards me, who hath been infinite and abundant in his good-
ness and fatherly mercy toward me even unto admiration, who though
he hath seemed to me to deny for a long time, yet hath heard all my
prayers, supplied all my wants, overcome all my evils with his goodness,
and when I have been as proud and stubborn as I could be, yet then hath
he magnified his rich compassion to me, that all whom it may concern,
especially my wife, children, kindred and friends, may learn to humble
and abase themselves before that God, to seek and to wait upon that God
who is nearest to help when all other help is furtherest from us, and to
love and fear and serve that God for ever, who is a God full of mercy,
and faithful in his covenant to his poor servants and their seed. And I
do revoke all other wills by me made, and do acknowledge this as my
last will and testament, and in witness hereof have hereunto set my hand
and seal this 20th day of Novcmb., 1653.

mark.
Admitting the genuineness of the above two documents, the in-
ventory and will, it would be difficult to reconcile the discrepancy of
dates except on the supposition of an error; for while the former is
dated 6th March, 1653,''and describes the man as dead, the latter,
executed by him on his deathbed, bears date November 20th, 1653.
Probably the committee viewed his elFects in the spring following the
making of the will, and made the common mistake of writing in the
XXX Descendants of Thomas Olcott.
old year for the new oue. The will affords us iuformation upon
other matters than the mere disposal of his property, for it mentions
his mother as one Mrs. Margaret Charlfount. As this lady is men-
tioned in none of the records to which I have had access, it may be
presumed that she did not emigrate to the new land where her son
established his household altar. The name of her second husband,
Charlfount, furnishes an additional clue to whomsoever may here-
after be at the pains to trace the Settler's family beyond the ocean.
Whether the " Mrs. Mary Hardy " he alludes to was his sister
really by the ties of nature, or merely those of ecclesiastical affinity,
can but be inferred. As he calls Will Wadsworth and Will Lewis
" brother," and Mrs. Hoare his " mother," the latter may be the
true explanation, Mr. Goodwin supposes that Mrs. Thomas Olcott
was a Miss Porter of London ; can it be that the Mistress Hoare in
question was her mother ?
One relic of the Settler has been rescued by the industry of Mr.
Goodwin from the obscurity of the Connecticut archives. On the
27th of June, 1845, in writing to Mr. Thomas W. Olcott, of Albany,
Mr. Goodwin said : " On a late examination of the ancient papers of
our Probate Court, I found, affixed to the will of Timothy Hyde,
the son of your ancestor's dauii;hter Elizabeth, the seal of Thomas
Olcott, your ancestor. With a fac-simile thereof, which
I caused to be taken, I shall seal this letter." From
this seal on this letter has been prepared the engraving
from which the following impression is made.
I do not know how this record of the adventurous, busy, and me-
morable life of our Puritan ancestor could be more appropriately
closed than by affixing his seal to the document. As his religious
fervor and calm hope of an immortal life, exhibited in his last will
and testament, sets the seal upon his honorable life, so this memento
sets, as it were, his sign-manual to the tale of his fortunes in this
country, which will possess an interest at least for his descendants.
The country cannot afford to lose the history of any one of the brave
men who for conscience sake abandoned home, and all that made
life sweet, for a new land where, for the privilege of worshipping
God in their own way, they had to pay the price of deadly perils
overcome, sufferings endured, poverty, cold, sickness and all that

makes life hard and bitter. Descent from one of this stock is a bet-
ter heritage than even a share of blood royal ; for, as Pope says :
" What can ennoble fools or cowards ?
Alas ! not all the blood of all the Howards."
While this Thomas Olcott and his fellow Pilgrims, laying broad and
deep the foundations of American liberty, placed us all under a debt
of respect and gratitude that the lapse of time will only make more
and more apparent. Untitled and poor though they may have been,
they were the best of their stock, and, as William Stoughton said
in his election sermon of 1668 : " God sifted a whole nation that he
might send choice grain into the wilderness.''

Thomas Welles, late of said Hartford, dec, a grandson of
Thomas Welles, one of the first settlers of said town, in
the line of his son Thomas, in 1695. She was the daugh-
ter, by his second wife, of John Blackleach jr., of said
Hartford, merchant, who died September 9, 1703, aged 77.
By her first husband she had children, Thomas, born Oc-
tober 16, 1690, and John, born December 15, 1693.

108 Descendants of
The male line of John Olcott became extinct on the
death of his son Samuel.
Mrs. Mary Olcott, alias Welles, survived her second
husband, and was married a third time, viz : to Capt.
Joseph Wadsworth, celebrated in history as the chief actor
in the fearful scene respecting the charter of the colony,
in the time of Sir Edmund Andros.
It is worthy of remark, that Mr. John Olcott and Capt.
Joseph Wadsworth, the second and third husbands of this
lady, were the appraisers of the estate of her first husband.
Capt. Joseph Wadsworth was the son of William Wads-
worth, one of the first settlers of Hartford, by his second
wife, Elizabeth, the sister of the Rev. Samuel Stone, one
of said settlers, and successor in the ministry to the Rev.
Thomas Hooker, the first minister of Hartford. William
Wadsworth is the ancestor of Daniel Wadsworth, Esq., of
this city — of the Messrs. Wadsworth, of Geneseo (New
York), and of most, if not all those persons, who bear his
name in this country. Capt. Joseph Wadsworth died in
1731. From an affidavit of his, appended to an inventory
of the estate of Thomas Stoughton, of Windsor (who mar-
ried his sister), dated March 6, 1686, he was, at that time,
36 years of age, which would give 1650, as the year of his
birth, and make him 81 years of age at the time of his
death.
Capt. Joseph Wadsworth's first wife was Elizabeth, the
daughter of Bartholomew Barnard, of Hartford. She died
October 26, 1710. His second wife, Mary Wadsworth,
alias Olcott, alias Welles, survived him.

father, Thomas Olcott, the Settler; and to his
loving uncle and aunt, Mr. Caleb Watson and
Mrs. Mary Watson, his wife, all the estate that
he himself had acquired. Mr. Caleb Watson

graduated at Harvard College in 1661, and was
subsequently, for several years, an instructor of
youth in Hartford.
APPENDIX.
The Indian name of Hartford was Sukiauge. The settlers first
named it Newtown, from the place of their residence in Massachu-
setts ; but in February, 1637, they gave it the present name of
Hartford. The place was originally purchased by Mr. Stone and
Mr. William Goodwin, of Sunckquasson, the Indian chief and pro-
prietor of the soil, who afterwards renewed the sale to John Haynes,
and others, and enlarged the boundaries of his grant. The original
deeds were lost or carried away, and were renewed by the heirs and
successors of Sunckquasson, in 1670. The following is a true copy,
from the records of the last.
Renewal Deed.
" Whereas our predecessor Sunckquasson, sachem of Suckiage,
alias Hartford, did about the yeare sixteen hundred thirty-^x, by a
writeing under his hand, pass over unto Mr. Samuel Stone and Mr.
Wm. Groodwin, in the behalfe of the present proprietors and owners
of the lands belonging to the township of Hartford, all that part of
his country from a tree marked N. F. which is the divident between
Hartford and Wethersfield — we say from the afoarsayd tree on the
south, till it meet with Windsor bounds on the north, and from the
great river on the east, the whole bredth to run into the wilderness
towards the west full six miles, which is to the place where Hartford
and Farming-ton bounds meet ; which grant of Sunckquasson, as oc-
casion hath been, was by him renewed to the honoured John Haines,
Esqr,, and other the first magistrates of this place, and enlarged to
the westward so far as his country went; which enlargement as well
as his former grant was made in presence of many of the natives of
the place and English inhabitants ; and severall yeares after, about
the time of the planting of Farmington in the yeare one thousand
six hundred and forty, in a writeing made between the English and
Pethus the sachem or gentleman of that place, there is a full mention
of the afoarsayd Sunckquasson his grant of his country to the magis-
trates of this place, which grant we are privy too ; and we being the
onely successors of Sunckquasson and proprietors (before the fore-
112 Appendix.
mentioned sale) of the lands belonging to the township of Hartford
on the west side of the great river, being desired to confirm and pass
over all our right and interest in the afoarsayd lands to the present
possessors of them, they informeing us that those writeings made by
Sunckquasson before recited are at present out of the way, knowing
what our predecessor hath done, and what consideretion he hath re-
ceived for the same, —
We, Masseeckcup and William squa in behalf of ourselves and
Wawarme the sister and onelyheire of Sunckquasson, and Keepequam,
Seacutt, Jack Spiner, Currecombe, Wehassatuck squa and Seacunck
squa, the onely inhabitants that are surviveing of the afoarsayd lands,
doe by these presents owne, acknowledge and declare, that Sunck-
quasson whoe was the sachem of Suckiage alias Hartford, and grand
proprietor of the lands adjacent, did with the consent of those of us
whoe were of age to declare our consent, and with the consent of the
rest of the inhabitants of this place, about the year 1636, pass over
unto Mr. Samuel Stone and Mr. Wm. Groodwine, in behalfe and for
the use of themselves and their company, all the land from Wethers-
field bounds on the south, to Windsor bounds on the north, and the
whole bredth from Connecticutt river on the east six large miles into
the wilderness on the west, which sayd grant was * afterwards upon
further consideration renewed and enlarged by the sayd Sunck-
quasson, upon the desire of the honoured Mr. Haines and the rest
of the magistrates of this place : but we being informed that on the
removeall of some of the gentlemen afoarmentioned, the papers and
writeings before specifyed are out of the way, and haveing now re-
ceived of Mr. Samuel Willys, Capt. John Tallcott, Mr. John Allyn
